Kimmel said to Harper, “I have a lot of clown questions to ask you, bro.”

Harper’s response: “Perfect. You must be from Toronto.”

Kimmel said it “takes most people a lifetime to come up with a catchphrase that will be repeated over and over again.” Kimmel noted that both he and Harper were from Las Vegas and despite there being a “lot of people from Las Vegas, not too many of them really do anything.”

Harper said, “I told somebody I lived on the pirate ship at Treasure Island and they actually believed me.”

Harper said of being called up to MLB, “I had a seven-hour flight and all I could think was, ‘You better not look like an idiot.’ ”

Harper said he is “really superstitious” so as “long as I’m on a streak or we’re doing good or my team’s winning, I'm going to keep doing the same thing. Wearing the same undershirt. I eat Eggo waffles. It has to be Eggo right before a game. It’s really weird.”

Kimmel said, “I have a sneaking suspicion that sometime tomorrow you’ll be getting a call from the Eggo people and a giant truck full of waffles is heading your way.”

Harper, who was 19 during his rookie season in 2012, hit .270/.340/.477 with 22 homers, 59 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in 139 games. He was voted NL Rookie of the Year.
